Was meant to be going down to Dungeness today, but my car wouldn't start. It has been resting for three weeks and then decided that its battery was too tired to work properly! Well lets wait until it needs filling up with diesel and I decide that I:m too tired to go to the garage......yeah that will teach it!!
Its a nice day so I decided to go to Port Lympne instead. I had a nice day with some good views of the animal collection as well as some native species inc, buzzards, woodpeckers, kestrels and jays to name a few.
Below are a few of some of the better photos.

I have not been able to get in much birding lately and what little I have managed I have no new photos to share, so here are some pics of a different subject matter, Folkestone Airshow, Hurrican, B25 Mitchell, Spitfire and Typhoon.......well at least they are pictures of something flying!

Yippee I'm home after 7 days in hospital, I'm still in bed at home and hopefully I will be out and about next week.
As expected I did miss some good birds, a report from Mark H advising of first flights of 3 juvenile marsh harriers from the ramp at Dungy. Can't wait to get down and see them asap.

Such lovely weather and I am typically missing it all. After being taken in to KCH on Wednesday 24th it still does not look as though I will be discharged within the next few days, so I hope everyone else enjoys the weather and there will bound to be many good birds this week!

About Me

From as early an age as I can remember I have been fascinated by nature and wildlife, I have also enjoyed photography since my mid teens. Since my wonderful wife Sue bought me a decent lens for my 50th birthday, I have been able to combine the 2 loves which has culminated into something much greater than the sum of the 2 parts. Sue did ask "would you get the use out of the lens?" Well to say yes would be an understatement, Sue either regrets bying me the lens as I am now never at home, or it was a cunning ploy....
My career of an electrical and mechanical engineer, has in the past not allowed much time for getting out with my camera, but my current situation now allows this a bit more, and I am loving it, although it is a bit restrictive in the areas I can get to due to being stuck in a wheelchair!.I hope anyone looking at this blog enjoys some of my pictures.
If you want a chat then I can normally be found at RSPB Dungeness where I volunteer in a visitor experience role on most Tuesdays and Fridays.
